Most of us were taught that the left wing view of life is the correct one. Indeed, leftists often think those who disagree must be stupid or evil. But there are plenty of reasons to turn away from the left. Most of its ideas look good on the surface, yet crumble on close inspection. Then there's the coercive way we are bullied into believing them.

To walk away is a surprising liberation. This book takes a fresh look at the sacred cows and strange habits of leftist thought. Find out how we were fooled and why it's time to rethink our ideas. Includes the chapters 'I Stole This Cake for George, ' 'A New Reason to Despise Artists, ' 'A Tale of Two Toxicities, ' and 'I'm Going for the Daleks Now.'
